'Required reading for anyone interested in the story of this war ... a really excellent work' - Ronald Hutton, University of Bristol 'An enormous amount of shrewd comment ... an excellent account of the features of the English landscape which helped or hindered the movement of armies ... skillfully outlines the realities of war in this period ... an invaluable addition to the literature.' - Anthony Fletcher, The Journal for Post-Medieval Archaeology 'There was a real need for an atlas such as this ... an interesting and well informed account of how the forces on both sides were raised and of the sort of men who led them ... expert and lucid.' - Austin Woolrych, History
